You know that moment when you’re craving something sweet, creamy, and just a little bit healthy, but you don’t want to spend an hour in the kitchen? Enter: Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites. These little guys are the snack superheroes you didn’t know you needed—cool, protein-packed, and ridiculously easy to make.
No fancy equipment, no weird ingredients, just pure deliciousness. And if you’ve ever doubted the magic of peanut butter and yogurt together, prepare to have your mind blown. Trust me, your freezer (and your future self) will thank you.

Plus, they’re customizable—drizzle with chocolate, sprinkle with sea salt, or keep it classic. Who knew guilt-free snacking could taste this indulgent?
Ingredients
Gather your squad—these ingredients are so simple, you probably have most of them already. The star players?
Greek yogurt and peanut butter, obviously. But here’s the full lineup:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat for extra creaminess, but any works)
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy—your call)
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (the secret flavor booster)
- Pinch of salt (to make everything pop)
- Optional toppings: Dark chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix it up. In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt until smooth. No lumps allowed—this isn’t a pancake batter.
- Spoon it out. Drop tablespoon-sized dollops onto a parchment-lined tray.
Pro tip: Use a mini ice cream scoop for uniform bites.
- Top it off. Add your toppings now—before freezing—so they stick. Chocolate drizzle? Yes, please.
- Freeze it. Pop the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Patience is a virtue, but sneak one early if you must.
Storage Instructions
Once frozen solid, transfer your Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites to an airtight container. They’ll last up to 2 weeks in the freezer (if they survive that long). For fridge storage, keep them chilled and eat within 3 days—though they’re best frozen.
Batch prep hack: Double the recipe and stash a backup bag for emergencies.
Why You’ll Love This Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites
- Healthier than ice cream. Packed with protein and probiotics, these bites are a sneaky-nutritious treat.
- Kid-approved. Even picky eaters go nuts for these. Perfect for lunchboxes or after-school snacks.
- Meal-prep friendly. Whip up a batch on Sunday, and you’ve got snacks all week. No more 3 p.m. vending machine regrets.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using runny peanut butter. Natural PB works, but stir it well first—unless you enjoy oily bites.
- Skipping the parchment paper. Trust me, prying frozen yogurt off a tray is not a fun workout.
- Overcrowding the tray. Give each bite space, or they’ll freeze into one giant blob.
Not cute.
Alternatives and Variations
Vegan? Swap honey for maple syrup and use dairy-free yogurt. Nut-free?
Sunflower seed butter works too. For a keto version, skip the honey and use powdered erythritol. Feeling fancy?
Roll the bites in crushed graham crackers or coconut flakes. The world (or at least your freezer) is your oyster.
Can I freeze this?
Absolutely! That’s the whole point.
These bites are designed for the freezer—just store them properly to avoid freezer burn.
What’s the best substitute for peanut butter?
Almond butter or cashew butter are great swaps. For nut-free, try tahini or sunflower seed butter (though the flavor will change).
How long does it stay fresh?
Up to 2 weeks in the freezer, but let’s be real—they’ll disappear long before then.
Is this kid-friendly?
100%. It’s like ice cream but with less sugar and more protein.
Parent win.
Can I prep it ahead of time?
Yes! These are perfect for make-ahead snacks. Just thaw for 5 minutes before eating.
